Rockstar Extends GTA Online’s Festive Surprise

By Ryan Bates

Hope your halls are still decked, because it's still Christmastime in Los Santos.

Those looking to spending a little extra time with multiplayer gaming over holiday break were thwarted by DdoS attacks to both PlayStation Network and Xbox Live starting on Christmas Day. While the Microsoft service came back later that day, it took Sony quite some time to get a fix working. Regardless of the service, Rockstar is keeping the holiday spirit alive, by extending the GTA Online Festive Surprise for both PSN and XBL, according to their Twitter account.

Though Rockstar did not indicate how much longer it would last, “for the time being” criminals of all levels can still bundle up in ugly Christmas sweaters and scarves, have snowball fights, and fire off holiday-themed homing missile launchers.

Fa la la la la la la la BOOM.

I'm currently based out of Las Vegas, NV (no I don't gamble all the time or live in a hotel on the strip) but I'm a So Cal kid through and through. I'm a Nintendiehard -- I stand by my man -- but I'm a fan of games no matter what the console, including Steam. RPGs, fighting, and action/adventure are my fortes. Give me a great story and characters any day. Call of Duty? I guess, if that's your thing. Classic Final Fantasy and Zelda? Now you're cookin' with gas!

When I'm not gaming, I like culinary adventures, moviegoing, and the Intert00bz. Ask me about my favorite web shows! I can get down on some anime, my favorite sports are boxing and baseball, and I can even get in tune with that parapsychological vibe, even though it's well-known and well-documented I'm kinda a pansy with horror stuff. (I think they get a kick out of assigning me those games for review.)

I'm also single and available, but sorry gamer girls, I play with joysticks.
